A Chance for Inventors.

1t has been estimated that the presen,
MODE or branding cattle in the western
country damages their hides to the extent
OF about 81, DOC, 900 annually, which is a
toleraoIy large sum for the cattle raisers
ana the meat consuming public to nav
every year, TO maintain practice which
Is cruel, improvident and unnecessary.
Ihere must of course be some distin-
gushing mark placed upon range cattle
IN order to know who they belong to. and
IL must be one which Will endure weather
ana wear, and which cannot easily be al
tered or obnterated by dishonest men.
But there must be better way TO accom-
push TINS end than burning enormous
orands upon the most valuable portions of
the hide, and multiplying them with every
change of ownership.
AN intelligent writer in The New York
Live Stock Journal discusses this matter
at length and suggests some alternatives
winch are probably the best and only ones
at present known, yet none of them arc
practical Among them are the use of
acids or stains, coloring the horns or cut
ting them at different lengths, brands on
the hoof or horn, ear marks, the use of
tags, etc. But all of these lack the ele-
ments of sufficient variety, permanence
and security; Yankee ingenuity should
surely find something better.
If some device or plan could be hit upon
TO take the place of the branding iron. it
would doubtless be universally adopted
through the west and secure q fortune to
the inventor. There are MANY men of
genius and science among our regular
readers, and we commend the subject to
their attention: it is worthy of serious

Feyers in Modern Rome.

TIL within the last fifteen years Rome was
conspicuous among European cities for ex-

borne out by the statistics of the Roman hos

appearances of the disease to the sewage

from the accumulation of filth. and con-

The Cues are Troublesome.

There have been many good natured jokes in
Washington about the cues worn by some Of
the gentlemen of the Chinese legation because
the long plaits of hair are, in the case Of two
or three of them, manifestly attached TO their
black skull caps and not to their heads, more
than one of them being perceptibly bald, and
one who came here from New York to attend
the ball at the Chinese legation had short
hair. BE wore the cue and the Chinese dress
at the legation only, and when he danced he
and the others whose cues were fastened only
to their skull caps, were 50 afraid Of de-
movement caused by caps and pigtails being
shaken off by the motion that they were seen
to pin the cues to their garments. The present
minister is very strict and insists on the Chi
nese costume and cues being worn by all Of
his countrymen when in his presence. ash

But, strangest to me-though the idea may
be mossgrown chestnut to others-were the

THE SPLIT.
The Withdrawal of Monongahela Lodge
From the Amalgamated.

| The Withdrawal of Monongahela Lodge
From the AmaIgamated.
PIrTsBURG, June ll.-Therc was a seri
ous split in the Amalgamated Association
convent. \ yesterday afternoon. The con
veution adjourned at q O'Clock, when two
indignant members, much excited, emerg
ed from the hall and stated positively that
the Monongahela lodge, composed of the
skilled workmcn OF Soho, had Withdrawn
! from the association, inlsmuch rs they had
not been given a square deal. Following
| the men were a number OF delegates who
had been instructed to prevent the men
making public the action of the convcn-
! ton. They were unsuccessful, however, as
one of them made complete statement.
| said he:
I'VE sent a delegate 30 the convention
with proper credentials. When he arrived
| they refused to seat him for the reason that
he had only heen in this country six
months and was not citizen of the United
States. We did not know this when we
| elected him and at once proceeded to elect
another man. In the meantime we dis
covered that the convention had seated
the man who had received the DeXt high
est vote to the one We first sent down.
We were appointed committee TO
protest, and in order TO show how en-
phatic the members were on this subject,
we were given the charter of our lodge
with instructions to give it up if we were
10 H.
and we handed in our charter, and the
lodge at our mill will be abandoned.
Our request was a fair one; but they
seemed determined to 20 against the wishes
of the men who compose the lodge.
There was quite a breeze around the head
quarters for time, and Secretary Martin,
although delegated by the convention to
give informatipn on the proceedings, shift
ed the responsibility to President Welhe.
The latter said that rs to the trouble be-
tween the association and the M0nOnga-
hela lodge he had rOthing to say The
lodge has Withdrawn from the association,
and if they do not return to the fold may
aid materially in strengthening the Ma
tional lodge of iron workers being formed
by the Knights of Labor to oppose the
Amalgamated association.
The deliberations of the convention yes
terday were unusually interesting In the
muck or puddle mill the price per ton for
rolling muck on two pairs of rolls or less
was fixed at 6si cents instead of 651 cents
This is an advance OF about nine per cent
Instead of II cent Tor doubling muck iron,
the roller will receive ~ cents per ton
above the scale prices. This is trife over
4 ten per cent. advance.

DHULEEP SINGH.
A Willy HIEDOO'S DEEP SCHEME.
His Efforts to Induce Russia to Invade
India.
TURKESTAN SHAKEN UP BY QUAKE.
Emperor William Greatly ImprOved-Gsn-
eral Foreign News.

LONDON, June Lord Duflerin, Vice.
roy of India, is making an energetic effort
to locate the willy Hindoo, known as
Dhuleep Singh, who is supposed to be
largely responsible for dangers which now
threaten India.
The treacherous native potentate, il is
thought, would hardly risk himself on
India soil except in good disguise for the
present, but Lord Dufferin in recent dis
patches has expressed the belief that he is
either personally or through emissaries
stirring up the Pishin tribes to revolt
These tribes are greatly excited by the
successful rebellion of the Ghilzais.
| Dwelling Just across the frontier from
Atghanistan, they partake of many char
acteristics of these rebellious subjects of
the Amcer and are encouraged by their
example to rise against their own masters,
the English. The larger part of the
Anglo-Indian army is concentrated in their
Vicinity III COllStt utnCc, anu lllc HOTtueru
frontier is left inSuiliciently protected.
II Russia wishes To act upon Dhuleep
Singh's advice and invade India, no more
propitious time could be chosen than the
present. There are many who anticipate
such movement, but the closer students
OF Russian methods take a different view
OF the probabilities. That Russia will in
wade India is not doubted, but the history
Of her past aggresSiOns indicates that the
invasion will be gradual. The Russian
! frontier has been pressed southwark in this
insidl0us manner AT the expense OF Persia
and Aighanistan, the Cars shrewd gener-
ais simply prying out position by their
obstinate, patient, unyielding grip on dis
puted territory, during the long drawn out
negotiations Of diplomats and boundary
commissions.
1t is understood from the repor' of trav
elers that Russian exploring u.iitary eX-
petitions have already forced themselves
across the line into Northern India and
established some sort of a local claim TO he
used in future disputes with England as a
| basis of settlement of frontiers. Such
bases are less expensive, ~ a rule, than
open warfare and frequently a. effective,
but they are in fact only preliminary To
war, which is expected whenever England
becomes engaged in strife elsewhere,
which will prevent her from giving ade-
quate protection to the threatened frontier.
